When you ran xf86config (i prefer the text based one to the gui) what did you select for video card? I've had no problems with many nvidia cards by simply selecting the "nv" driver, although this currently does not support OGL or other acceleration (I don't think) Nvidia also has some dets for linux online, I've heard good things about them. I would try running xf86config (or setup or which ever you prefer) and playing around a bit with your graphics and monitor settings....

Here's the link to nvidia's linux page: http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=linux

ps- Most of my *nix experiance is with freebsd, so somethings may be different, but not much...
